Baby Ducks!

A scouting mission this morning revealed that there were baby ducks along the canal!  Although there was no guarantee that we would see them again, KW set out in search of them.   Along the way we saw other forms of wildlife:  three turtles, minnows or tadpoles,  a snakehead fish (Identified by James), butterflies, and other birds.   Finally, we came upon one mother duck and her babies!  The ducks and ducklings were happy to see us too, as we brought food for them.   
After providing lunch for the ducks, we spent some time observing our surroundings and drawing in the art journals.   James quickly drew that Snakehead fish he saw, while other children drew the bridge, the grasses and flowers,  some wild strawberries, the turtles, and the occasional duck.   Lou Lou and Tegan further discussed their pages that were stuck together and decided to call them "Tee Pee" pages because they can fold open like a tent or Tee Pee!  Enjoy the photos!
